Jetson Nano booting problem

Hello ,
When booting my jetson , it was working fine , it cant boot ( keep asking me the password ) , there was an error : Failed to start PostgreSQL cluster 10 main .

I think its a space problem , how can I manage to solve that please its urgent !

Is this an eMMC model on third party carrier board? Or is this a dev kit which boots to SD card and has no internal eMMC? The answer on SD card, eMMC, and third party versus dev kit carrier board drastically changes a lot of things. No way to answer without knowing that. However, it is possible this is due to space, although what you really need is a full serial console boot log before doing anything else. See:

Some assumptions can be made to back up the rootfs if we at least know the model. A raw clone can be loopback mounted on the Linux host PC, and this can be directly examined to see if it is out of space. If you have serial console login, then you might also have access in some way that the regular logins and network logins fail at.

its a dev kit with an SD card

You can plug this SD card into a Linux desktop PC and examine what is on it from there. If content is full, then that can easily be fixed.

To start with, on your PC, monitor “dmesg --follow”. Then plug in the SD card to the PC, and note what log lines occur as a result of the plugin event. This should tell you what the device name is, and it will tell you if the device was mounted somewhere (it might automount).

You can use “df -H -T <device>” to find what you need. The “device” can be either the mount point (e.g., it might be a location like somewhere in “/media”) or the device name (e.g., if it is “/dev/sdb1”, where 1 is the partition number on sdb). What do you see from that?
